In the present study, annoyance caused by diverse construction noises was evaluated through surveys. A survey with a total of 110 construction workers was carried out to investigate annoyance from construction noises at different construction phases. The most effective item of adverse by construction noise was annoyance and the most annoyed construction stage was destruction construction. There were high correlation between work performance and work safety as well as work safety and speech interference. Participant's noise sensitivity were significant between low and high group at work performance, work safety, speech interference.

Most environmental impact assessment(EIA) programs around the world require the consideration of human health impacts. Yet relatively few EIA documents adequately address those impacts. This article examines how, why, and to what extent health impacts are analyzed in environmental impact assessments. This article investigates these problems and provides recommendations to improve human health impact assessment(HIA), using methods, procedures and case study. Also, a comprehensive approach for the evaluation of possible health effects in an EIA is described, illustrated with the example of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Unlike many EIAs, we estimated quantitatively the impact of aircraft-related pollution in terms of the number of affected people for aircraft noise annoyance, odour annoyance and hypertension. In addition, an analysis of health registry data on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and a short survey on annoyance and risk perception were carried out.

monaural 신호는 귀의 특성과 인간의 청취 특성을 정확하게 반영하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 귀 자체의 특성이 binaural인 것을 생각하면 monaural 신호를 이용한 방법은 정확한 결과가 나오기 어렵다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 monaural 신호를 이용한 음질 평가 시스템의 단점을 보완하고 귀의 binaural 특성을 살린 binaural 음질 평가 시스템을 구현하였다. 소리에 대한 심리음향학 인자로는 monaural 평가에서 사용했던 loudness, sharpness, roughness, fluctuation strength, annoyance, pleasantness를 binaural에 맞도록 수정하였으며, monaural 평가에서는 사용하지 않았던 tonality를 추가하여 pleasantness의 annoyance의 계산식을 수정하였다.

The purpose of this study is to propose calculation and application method of a common factor from different noise source unit such as $L_{eq}$ and WECPNL, A calculation was conducted by method that propose TNO-PG. Also, An applied example is a noise environmental standard of Korea and Japan. After %HA of two country are calculated, noise standards of two countries were compared by using %HA. The result by a equation of %HA is to convert a noise level($L_{dn}$) into a %HA. To calculate a %HA, First $L_{eq}$ is converted into $L_{dn}$. Then, $L_{dn}$, has inputted into and %HA has deduced from a %HA equation of TNO-PG. If the same area is applied the same %HA value according to area categories, it can be applied the same %HA to different noise sources. As a results. a noise levels have computed different values because responses of human change in accordance with a noise sources. This results can be applied to the noise environmental assessment for a domestic railway and aircraft noise.

Because many people suffer physical and mental damage from the noise of the traffic facilities including road, rail, airport, the advanced countries have conducted the researches of predicting and solving the impact of the human health exposed to traffic noise. Therefore, this study suggests the fundamental plans which can assess the health impact of traffic noise on the basis of the prediction results about the health impact of traffic noise.

Measurement of noise is not only to know the information of acoustic pressure but to assess human response for noise. Provided that want to find human response for transportation noise, we will have to reproduce the measured noise. The method of reproduction is largely divided into monaural and binaural reproduction techniques. Human fundamentally hears sound through both ears, which is binaural hearing. And binaural technique includes the more information of physical phenomena like acoustical reflection and deflection. So, binaural reproduction is more suitable for assessment of the psychoacoustical and physiological response for transportation noise exposures.

Assessment of noise exposed population is a method for checking the degree of environmental noise and social influence in order to reduce the risks such as annoyance and disturbance that are generated by environmental noise. Also, this method suggests the preferential noise reduction policy and action plan by accurately assessing the area that noise causes harm to human health. Recently, a noise map, which can predict noise in comprehensive areas, is used for the assessment of noise exposed population, breaking from the methods using existing measures. In particular, countermeasure for the noise can be considered more effectively by using assessment methods of noise exposed population for specific noise levels, areas, and building types which are the main input factors in noise maps. In this study, Assessment methods of noise exposed population by using 2D noise map are compared with those by 3D noise map.

Because many people suffer from physical and mental damage caused by the noise created by transportation infrastructure, including road traffic, rail, and aircraft, developed countries have conducted research on predicting and solving the impact to human health from being exposed to transportation noise. Therefore, this study suggests a fundamental plan to assess the health impact of transportation noise on the basis of domestic and foreign prediction results regarding the health impact of transportation noise. The domestic and foreign exposure-response expressions, including the noise index and the health impact indicator of annoyance and sleep disturbance, are compared, and it is found that domestic individuals show a more sensitive response to transportation noise. Based on domestic and foreign research, and a case study regarding the health impact of transportation noise, a fundamental plan to assess the health impact of transportation noise comprises the preparation of objective assessment standards through the improvement of exposure-response models, and the establishment of reduction measures which can improve the quality of the transportation noise environment.

심리음향학적으로 소리의 감성 요소를 평가하려는 시도가 계속되고 있으나 뚜렷한 결과가 나온 것은 많지 않다. 또한 감성 인자 평가에 대한 국제적인 표준도 정확히 나와있지 않다. 일반적으로 심리음향학 인자로 loudness, sharpness, roughness, fluctuation strength, pleasantness, annoyance를 사용하며, 이러한 인자들을 이용하여 바이노럴 음질 평가 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 바이노럴 음질 평가 시스템의 객관성을 평가하기 위해 인성 실험을 실시하였고 인성 실험 결과와 음질 평가 시스템을 이용한 평가 결과를 비교 분석하였다.
